Boeing Partners With Charm Industrial to Remove 100,000 Tonnes of Carbon

Boeing has inked a major deal with Charm Industrial to offtake up to 100,000 tonnes of permanent carbon removals, its first agreement with an aviation company.

Charm captures CO₂ from the atmosphere by converting agricultural and forest residues into bio-oil and biochar, then storing it underground, where it solidifies permanently. The company already works with Google, JPMorgan, and the Frontier carbon removal coalition.

Boeing, which has voluntarily offset its emissions since 2020, is now emphasizing an “avoid first, remove second” strategy - reducing emissions at the source while using removals for hard-to-abate outputs.

Charm called the deal a “substantial step forward for durable, high-integrity carbon removal” and a milestone for the aviation sector’s climate action.
